Well, based on this quick clip and in conjunction with building on our tough identity from last year, No Way Jose would fit right in. Also, Poole's reaction is more of PTSD than admiration. He probably has flashbacks of Donkey rearranging his sinuses after too many comments about his higher salary and Dray being a B (insert Too Short's voice) . He's a great backup with his own trademarked , backcourt steal move (lol) and he has made it clear to mgmt that he wants to contend. The Pels need picks more than anything after deals leaving them in purgatory. Everything is fluid, but Jose would be excellent with Reed until our floor leader, FVV, returns just before the post season. Not my first choice but he would move the dial.
I like Alvarado too, but no way I'm paying anything more than bench players and 2nd rounders for a stopgap, assuming NO wants picks. No way I'm including the 2027 BKN or PHO pick.
